Abstract: In order to obtain the best operation parameters of the cooling system of a marine diesel engine， achieving the goal of improving the power and economy under the premise of reliable operation of diesel engine， diesel engine working process-combustion chamber-cooling system coupling simulation model was established， and DOE-GA optimization algorithm was proposed which had the advantages of saving test costs and multi-objective global optimization. Six typical propulsion conditions were selected for research， DOE-GA optimization algorithm was used to carry out multi-objective optimization design on the operating parameters of the cooling system. The optimal design took the speed of sea and fresh water pumps as variable factors， and the promotion of dynamic and economic parameters as optimization goal， with turbine inlet exhaust temperature， fresh water outlet temperature， and peak cylinder pressure as constraints. After optimization， at the low load point， the fresh water and sea water pumps saved power consumption by 79.4% and 71.73%， torque increased by 7.2%， effective power increased by 7.6%， thermal efficiency increased by 8%， fuel consumption rate decreased by 6.73%， and friction work decreased by 9.71%， peak cylinder pressure decreased by 5%. The research results show that the coupled simulation model is closer to the real machine. The DOE-GA has the advantages of low cost， high efficiency， and high accuracy in solving multi-objective optimization problems of strongly coupled nonlinear systems.
